Maybe society just rewards the first penguin to jump into the sea.

tangentially related:

This is one of my favorite videos. After the first penguin jumps the crowd follows till then they confused. Regardless the sight of penguin jumping is breathtaking.

Well, the first few do jump, the next bravest continue jumping in, but some do get pushed off the cliff into the water too :)

Thanks for the video!

The first penguin certainly rewards the orcas.

That's quite a novel negative counterpart to "the early bird catches the worm"

Meh. "The smart worm sleeps in" is an old trope.

The early worm gets the bird.
